➡️ Do we really know what we have?
In two recent studies, we reported over 50 new faunistic records for Badajoz province (SW Spain).
🕷️ 33 spider species and 🦟 28 dipteran species.
⁉️So how could they go undetected until now⁉️
It’s not because they’re rare.
It’s because no one had looked🔎

In both photos, there's a crab spider (Thomisus onustus) perfectly camouflaged on the flowers.
A deadly strategy for unsuspecting pollinators.

💥 Results:
➡️ LPS chicks showed no growth in the first 6h
➡️ Then showed rapid catch-up growth between 6–24h
➡️ LPS increased oxidative damage (ROMs) and antioxidant activity (OXY) 48h after.
➡️ However, by day 14, only smaller, LPS chicks had lower body mass and survival proabilities.

Activating the immune system is costly. Especially for young animals still growing.
Here, we tested how wild spotless starling (Sturnus unicolor) chicks respond to an immune challenge and how this affects their growth, oxidative stress and survival
